It’s perfect on this tablet, love it :heart_eyes:

for the blisslauncher by apps shortcuts added in a further folder.
Is it mandatory to lose some space on the screen ? would it be possible to make this folder size around bigger on height and width ?


I find so much usefull place are lost here

Vendor Name - Fairphone
Device name - Fairphone 4
Device CodeName - FP4
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously - 1.21-S
Is the device Rooted / Not rooted - Not Rooted

Update installed without problems but usage resulted in problems:

  • Apps are arranged in a 4x5 form changing it to 4x6 completely destroyed the order of the apps which was quite frustrating. It takes a lot of type to correct it. This is the same problem when using safe mode.
  • The arrangement of apps is more difficult than before. It does not place it at the correct position or fuse it together.
  • Icons for websites (shortcuts for browser) are buggy as mentioned by other users.

Other points:

  • Battery problems still existing.
  • I can’t see any advantages coming with v 2. Maybe the priorization is not as I would define it:
    • Removing google would be a high priority. (see Kuketz for reference)
    • Security and faster updates as well.
  • Advanced privacy still has many problems. It uses APKMirror though I disable open source apps and PWAs. These options do not have any effects.

2.0-s-20240514401452-stable-GS290
Not rooted

Following the update, an old issue reappeared. The message: “com.mediatek.ims.app.ImsApp stops systematically” which causes a problem sending SMS.

  • Google
  • Pixel 4a
  • Sunfish
  • /e/OS 1.21-r-20240323388914-stable-sunfish
  • Not Rooted
    I tried to apply the 2.0 update. It downloads and tries to install. When I click the reboot button, it reboots to Fastboot Mode and stays there. When I press Start / power button, it reboots to 1.21. Is there something I should be doing when it reboots to Fastboot Mode?

Please report …

I can’t seem to locate Rooted Debugging in the Developer settings. My Pixel 4a is not rooted. Is this why Rooted Debugging is not listed in the Developer Settings?

I tried running adb logcat >/tmp/log in a terminal, but no results are returned.

Hi everybody,

on my side, still no issue to download the new version (some minutes) and to install it (just some minutes, perhaps 5 min).

  • Vendor Name : Samsung
  • Device name : A5 2017
  • Device CodeName : a5y17lte
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously : v1.9
  • Is the device Rooted / Not rooted : Not Rooted

I noticed some issues (some were already there in 1.9 & previous) :

  • I don’t see the QR Code tool in Camera app
  • NFC doesn’t work (like in any previous version)
  • Unfortunately no v3 for Bliss Launcher :frowning:
  • Like in v1.9, as soon as I start a call, the network switch to lower speed (2G or perhaps 3G) so internet is not available anymore
  • Still with this version CityMapper doesn’t work (start but does nothing)
  • Since 1.17 or 1.18, impossible to have access to voice messaging in the call app. I have to call my voice messaging

For the others functions/apps, I didn’t noticed issue after 1 month and I just upgraded to 2.1

Edit

I think it the case that Rooted Debugging is not available in a stable device. Confirmed here.

On a dev build.

My phone is unrooted; the above is a way of giving root to Android Debug Bridge only, on an unrooted (dev) device.

I do not quite understand why the command is written this way. I previously used the command from https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/create-a-log.html.

I run $ adb logcat -d > logcat.txt to create a file called logcat.txt in the current folder.

However they ask for and I tested adb logcat >/tmp/logcat.txt I get permission denied as the file is going to the root of my system (did you look there?);

adb logcat >logcat.txt works but I have to press ^C to stop.

(There is also logcat -h – like all adb logcat commands only works with a device connected.)

Hi,

Just to inform that today I have tried again, and the hotspot function works.
Since last trial mentioned in the above post, I have only rebooted the phone few times in several days, but no other changes (OpenVPN is ON).
Hotspot + browsing to murena website works, so I close the topic

Some more info… i’ve decided against updating away from this versions because of issues with the 2.1 release, but this version still has the random lockscreen/soft reboot issue. I’ve since concluded that when this happens, it always coincides with some form of app updates. Either just before or right after the phone randomly displays the Murena logo and asks for my pin, the phone is updating apps of some description, leading me to believe this is somehow connected.

Also, I will sometimes have random insanely high battery drain. Just today I charged to 100% around 11AM and lost 25% by 4PM… doing practically nothing with the phone (35min screen time, a phone call and some light browsing).

I would really appreciate an update that would bring some more stability to the phone before we focus on new features.

A potential cause was identified (but due to limited resources not fixed). Users report success in upgrading to dev instead.

I upgraded my tablet to v2.2 and same display issue. Just FYI.

Hi,
Still stuck with the OTA update of my Pixel 4a (Feedback for v2.0 - #183 by thierryj).
Not sure to understand all the information given here : 2.0 /e/OS update not booting (#8009) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab
Would it help to reinit my phone, and update it to Android 13, before re-installing Sunfish via the easy installer ?

Do you still have your problem ? If so, do you have the /e/ default recovery ? It could be the source of the priblem, i couldn’t install an update before i switched to TWRP.
